We chose this restaurant for dinner based on a recommendation from our B&B and we were not disappointed. The table service was excellent - glasses filled and then topped up regularly with chilled water without a request. The menu had an excellent selection of Italian dishes, and it was really hard to choose! Food came quickly and the wine menu had a good, though not extensive, list of wines by the glass or bottle. We would certainly return here to eat when next in Pokolbin.

Located in the Lovedale area. St Clements Estate is extremely private and offers an extensive range of wines all produced from our estate. We are also excited to have opened the doors to Lillino's Italian/Pizza restaurant in June 2011.We welcome you to th

I ordered the ricotta ravioli for my main dish which cost $28. When the pasta arrived it contained 8 small pieces of ravioli. When i questioned the waitstaff as to if it was a main meal I was told yes it was and I replied, well it's very small. The waitstaff said they would pass that on to the chef, however no one came to our table to speak to us and address the complaint. I was so hungry I went to Coles afterwards to buy more food.Dear Christine,Unfortunately the waitress you approached is a new casual and maybe didn’t put to much importance on your request, however I was the one that served your daughter’s plain penne with the sauce and Parmesan on the side, I was floating around most night, if you would have attracted my attention I would have address you concern.By the way your total bill for the three of you was a riveting $102.00 inclusive of drink.It would have been quicker for you to order another dish than to drive to 20 kilometres.The portion of ravioli has been like that since I started to make them, and in my opinion is more than generous, my Mum wasn’t has generous and she only used to dish out 4 of them.Maybe you should come back in February when I’m having a price review.I was tempted to put something about the multinational company that you mentioned, but I will let the readers imagine it.

This restaurant is part of Spicers. We ate here twice whilst staying over and enjoyed the fabulously innovative tasting menu both nights. The food was faultless and the staff were knowledgeable, enthusiastic and professional throughout. We are already dreaming of when we can return and eat here again!Thank you for your review undercovercarrot, lookin forward to seeing you again!Regard,Mark Whitnell

Visited Cafe Manuela for Sunday lunch. Warm friendly greeting and atmosphere.We both ordered the crispy skin salmon. When the meals arrived there was no crispy skin, actually there was no skin at all. We bought this to the attention of the wait staff and advised we ordered the dish for the crispy skin. We asked the staff member to speak to the chef. When paying the bill we asked what the chef’s response was, we were told he asked were we cranky. Is it so hard for a chef to cook to the menu. I’m sure if the owner knew they would also be cranky.
